About the adventure
In this one shot, you will be playing as adventurous and problem-solving students that have been at Castle High for over a year. Marking the year's completion is the holiday called The Harkening, a day of remembrance for all the spirits that call the campus of Castle High their home, and guide the students that live there. However, there have been rumours of a horrible haunting ssurrounding Clover Towers โ a cluster of tall, dark, spire-like abandoned buildings that flank the east side of the Crocus Museum. You, and a group of fellow, intrepid students, have been assigned to investigate and preferably put an end to these hauntings before the clock strikes midnight, or the Harkening may go awry! What will you find at Clover Towers? What haunts this terrifying place? And how will you put an end to the hauntings? Dive into this kooky, Halloween-themed Daggerheart one shot to find out! โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ System: Daggerheart Dates: 30th and 31st October, 2026 (others may be added as per demand) Themes: Dark/Light Academia, Magic Mystery and Mayhem, Light "Fun" Horror, High Fantasy, Comedic and Sweeping.

About me
An organized and intuitive story-teller with over 6 years of experience in GMing varied kinds of TTRPGs - including but not limited to DND, Daggerheart and the Good Society TTRPG. As your GM/DM/Storyteller, this is what you can expect from any of my tables: โก ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง: By appropriate use of ambient music, narrative indicators and engaging storytelling, I make my "theater of the mind" games come to life with my own personal flourishes. โก ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ซ๐: As an asexual woman of colour, it is increasingly important to me that my tables reflect my continued drive to make TTRPGs a safe environment within which anyone can thrive and enjoy, no matter what their background or orientation is. I aim always to uphold a golden standard of table etiquette in all of my games. โก ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ-๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ: Another one of my crucial focuses in any game is the willingness to deliver a very player-driven experience. All of the adventures I run are exploration heavy, with the onus of it on the players and their wishes! Every adventure is tailor-made for the general energy and vibe of the group, as well as everyone's individual and collective goals. โก ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ: Though my games boast being roleplay-driven, they are not lacking in tactical or crunchy play and heavy combat scenarios. I take great care to deliver a balanced game that will suit the needs of every player in the party, and my versatile GMing style allows for such flexibility. โก ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐: Needless to say, I am influenced quite a lot by online live play GMs and their styles, chief among them being Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matthew Mercer. I draw a lot of inspiration from their approach to TTRPGs as well as the examples they set in their many campaigns, and I always strive to make the narrative experience something for all of my players to remember. I try my best to weave in humanistic and philosophical elements into my stories, with dramatic flairs that I have always loved to incorporate! โก ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐: As an inclusive GM, I try and cover a whole spectrum of topics. Everyone is welcome at my table: whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned player, you will find something to enjoy about my games. Whether you're here just to have fun or you want a serious and dramatic roleplay/narrative experience, or you want tough and dynamic combat that you really need to think on your feet to get through successfully โ my games are the place for you! More than anything, I find satisfaction from my work here when you, the player, have simply had a marvelous time and have left each session with a sense of wanting more! So, I hope you ๐๐ answer the call for adventurers and join one of my games โ and let's have a great time telling some riveting stories! ( P.S.: Credit for Icon Art goes to @ShionsLife. )
View Profile โCharacter creation
Creating your character
You will have access to all the necessary materials i.e. the books on Demiplane, the server on Roll20, and a discord server with a very kind community! I'll be sending through all the necessary information on Discord, as well as a detailed breakdown of where you're starting, what you're doing, and all the mechanical things you can pick out and add to your equipment.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Nothing! Just come with a loose narrative perspective on your character, and I'll be talking to you over discord to help develop your character till the day of the one shot!
What Ajna brings to the table
Ambient music, memorable character voices (as best as is possible), free 5E character sheets, elaborate battle maps, a Roll20 Elite game server that will have a few bells and whistles, vivid narrative descriptions, RPG safety tools, and a great deal of mystery. As some of the reviews have said, I adopt a "player friendly" mentality, and at any point of time within the one shot, your continued collective fun is my top priority. I never give my players anything in game that their characters cannot handle, and I ALWAYS ensure that everyone is on the same page about boundaries, lines, veils, and general player safety.

How Ajna creates a safe table
During one shots, I try to ensure everyone has been sent a checklist, and I typically will ask everyone for their general lines and veils, their comfort levels with certain topics, and a chance to anonymously disclose their triggers as well as "no-touch" content topics.
